    Smells like a strip club and has vibes of one. Even has a tv showing what girl bartenders will be there on which day.

    This is the bar you drink at for 20yrs... very chill suburb neighborhood spot. Crisp, clean pub…read moreatmosphere and really solid food. Cheap beer is available everywhere in this area but I have to church up the JCB burger. Simple burger (med-rare, I usually order med-rare and get well done, but true med-rare) cream cheese, bacon and grilled jalapeño. That's it and it honestly needs nothing else. Little sweet, little heat but for a lunch burger I am impressed. Bartender was cool and I think ran the whole house at lunch pretty well. Skip the burger in the bag and come smash a PBR and some really local hospitality.

    We have been going to The Glenn for years! We went today and placed our order at 3:35, which was…read moretheir happy hour/lunch menu. We ordered 1/2 of a turkey rubin with fries, one cheese burger with green chili as the side 2 coors light and 2 house margarita's and it cost $70 with a tip. The turkey rubin was not grilled enough, it looked like warm bread. The cheese burger came naked. No lettuce, onion, tomato or pickle. I asked the server, and he said we had to ask for it but it wouldn't be charged extra, even though the cheese was charged $1.50 for a slice of american cheese. THEN WE HAD A FAIR WAGE FEE. (5.00%) of our bill. WHY ARE CUSTOMERS PAYING THAT? The employer should include it in their prices or not charge it. Because $70.00 for this meal that was SUB PAR AT BEST makes me mad. The beer was $2.50 before 4 pm and $3.50 after 4. We would drink beer here. But paying $17 for 2 house margaritas, on happy hour prices, was nuts. The old ownership cared more about the food products that were put out. We will NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN. $70 FOR A BURGER AND 1/2 OF A SANDWICH AND TWO DRINKS EACH, AND A WAITER WHO DIDN'T ADD CONDIMENTS TO OUR BURGER... shame on you guys.

Below is the best summary i can provide during a lunch break. 1. Staff make the educated and wise choices of beveraging and do so with a level of expertise typically reserved for internationally award winning establishments AND provide key emotional services for the regulars as well as wandering drinker. 2. The selection, prep, presentation, and delivery of both beer and cocktail are basically inspirational and will add IQ points and probably lead to better overall life experience 3. From interactions to prices, this establishment makes the best of both location and proximity to harness the power of either community or solar flares, i cant tell which. 4. Consistent rotations of options are almost considered worthy of a trophy. 5. At no point during your experience will you feel as though danger, illness, or adversely affected by the business conducted here will be a factor in your drink 6. Musical selections, food truck options, and inadvertent puns enliven the part of you that cant be qualified or quantified scientifically. 7. This point reserved for a holy number 8. Count the stars. 8/5.

They have a ton of different burger options and they all sounded so good. From mushroom burgers to bisons to ones that had so much bacon on it, you really can't go wrong here! Came in to pick up and service was pretty quick. They pointed me in the right direction. Not enough interactions to give them a rating. The restaurant and bar was popping. It was busy on this Friday night around 8pm. About 3/4 full. It was sorta loud but good energy. I think I would have preferred to eat in rather than take out. I ordered sweet potato fries (you can sub them out for others like onion rings or truffle fries etc) with my short rib stacker burger. The burger was on point. The fries, maybe because they were cold by time I ate them, were disappointing. The herb infused cream cheese was the cherry on top. The braised short rib wasn't as juicy and I'd never order it separately but together, it made for a pretty good burger. I also had the Brie and bacon bites which are crispy pastry bites stuffed with brie cheese & applewood-smoked bacon. They dust then with powdered sugar which I thought was okay. It is served with housemade cranberry cream sauce. They have multiple locations it turns out. So if you don't pop by this one, don't fret, there are others!
